Kim Jong Il’s birthday has long been known
as the Day of the Shining Star in Democratic Korea. In the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea (DPRK) and across the world events were held throughout the
month in honour of the DPRK leader who died at his post on 17th
December 2011.

In Britain
solidarity events in honour of the 76th anniversary of the birth of
dear leader Kim Jong Il closed with a lunch-time reception at the London
embassy of the DPRK this week. British communists, including New Communist
Party leader Andy Brooks and Michael Chant of the Revolutionary Communist Party
of Britain (ML), joined diplomats and solidarity activists at the reception
that was opened by Democratic Korean ambassador Choe Il.

The DPRK
ambassador paid tribute to Kim Jong Il’s outstanding contribution to the Korean
revolution and the world communist movement, and Dermot Hudson from the Korean
Friendship Association (KFA) spoke about the dear leader’s life-time
achievements in the service of the Korean people.
